Leo burst forward, switching into a level of speed he hadn't shown all match.

"Here he goes again. Italy break through their young midfielder, and look at the pace he's found."
Colombo, who had replaced Pellegrini earlier, peeled off toward the right while Carlo mirrored him on the opposite side, both stretching England's backline until they were caught between tracking runners or stepping toward the ball.
The England players were caught up, not knowing who to follow, and so Cresswell boldly made the first move.
He pushed up, trying to slow Leo before the danger grew, but Leo let the ball run half a step ahead, nudged it past him, and burst around the defender as if the challenge barely registered.
